That does not speak good about texlive.

When one compiles texlive, one gets tlmgr, but that is not enough,
one must install from the beginning texlive with some binaries that
someone compiled, with
# install-tl --custom-bin=/tmp/foobin
The only thing I want is new binaries after upgrade, preserve my texmf,
not reinstall anything from the beginning, not run strange commands.
No, I will not do that only to get a working stinky package manager.
What I do works, because that worked as the whole was called
teTex or web2c, it is the same kpathsea program that search
for files in texmf, the same programs are run when one compiles
a tex file. The only new thing that texlife brought is the biggest
bloat of a minimal program of Donald Knuth. It is a shame in the
history of software development.
